CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM
About CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM
CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM belongs to a class of topical corticosteroid medications. It is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM comprises Clobetasol, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
Always use the right amount of CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM as advised by the doctor or pharmacist. It would be best to use CLOBETAMIL CREAM 10GM regularly to get the maximum benefit.
